Marlins Cut Outfielder Slater, Roster Spot for Ruiz
23 Apr
Summary
- Slater was designated for assignment by the Marlins.
- He had a .174 batting average with one steal and one RBI.
- A roster spot was opened for Esteury Ruiz's return.

The Miami Marlins have designated outfielder Garrett Slater for assignment as of Wednesday. Slater's playing time this season had been sparse, and his performance at the plate was limited to a .174 batting average over 23 at-bats. He also recorded one stolen base and one RBI.
Having exhausted his minor-league options, the 33-year-old outfielder's departure makes way for Esteury Ruiz, who is reportedly meeting with the team soon. Slater will now be placed on waivers, potentially garnering attention from other teams seeking additional outfield depth.
